While traveling to an out of the way Asian country, I opened my Facebook page to this: Good morning! Be sure to take an umbrella today as rain is expected! And, after private messaging my cell number to a friend with whom I was trying to meet up, Facebook messaged me asking if they could add my phone number to my profile. I said no. They asked three times and each time I said no. If anyone thinks there is ANY privacy on Facebook, they are delusional.
If you put something on someone’s server, you lose control of it. That includes backing up to the cloud.
Never had a Messenger message not delivered, that I know of. To think that they own the company, wont let you have the FB app without driving you insane to get the Messenger ap, every keystroke you make on either one is, of course, captured and used for their profit.
Duh.
Just assume any activity on the internet is being scanned, even here, PM’s are no different.
Educated liberals are in deep denial.
A Lawyer in my volunteer group never did believe any of my caution with respect to fakebook.
He now claims fakebook is only a risk if you took their personality test (???). Everyone else is oay(???)
WTF! Fakebbok/twitter/google are all about collecting your content and metadata to generate a dossier about your preferences, likes, dislikes, lifestyle, political preferences > your personality.
This dossier is sold to advertisers and markets. The big win is selling your data to politicians who seek to manipulate folks into voting for them
They have learned much from studying the ChiCom Great Firewall.
Who the heck didn’t know this???
Thankfully, I never fell for, or joined any of the social media crap. FR is the only place I’ve registered with. It’s been my home since 1997. And it will be my home until the day I die.
